head. The XL is the tall chassis. I use Rodenstock lenses on mine
without problems. Bob from HP Marketing is correct, the 50mm won't
work with the 3 lens turret. My 50mm Rodenstock works fine without
the turret, just a flat lens board and mount.


Yah some lenses have too much flange distance,...to rotate the turret or
focus when on it. That used to bum people out all the time, and they
would get rather mad, after buying new lenses for their new enlargers.

About 20 or 30 years ago they came out.
I have mounted my share of enlarger lenses and have never found any of
the usual ones that will not readily mount in a D5. Turret or not. But
I am more than willing to learn anything.

Tell me whaic 50mm you want to mount?

FWIW The D5 is very similar to a D6 and the D6 came out before the D5.
And there was a D3 and D4.

A seller called me and said he got a used Omega D5V-XL
Enlarger. I did
not heard it before, and after a google search, I found
only D2V. Does
anyone have any ideal about this product? Can it use 50mm
lens? Can
it use Rodenstock ?

The D-5 is a current model an is the replacement for the
D-2. What sort of price does the guy want for it? Does it
come with any lenses? Does it have the variable condenser
lamphouse or the Chromega color head? All have an effect on
the value. XL means it has an Xtra-Long column. Of course,
condition is everything.

Possibly a D2V head on a D5XL chassis. There was no D5V head that I know of.

with enlarger, so I do not well know what are turret, lens borad and
lend mount. You might laught at me
